Where should I truly start?

[Andrew Linscott]

Hi I am brand new to the real estate game and I really want to be part of it. That being said I am being educated but I also what to know where I should really start. Aka kinda play it safe in a way where there won't be a huge lose if there is but won't be massive profits either. Any ideas? Should I start with a rehab maybe stick to whole sailing or straight buy and hold on a duplex and live on another side to start? Also if anyone is in Maine and knows of any meetings or would like to get together I would love to find a mentor.
